Tang San's Current Situation, the Pope's Questioning
"Ah... Douluo Continent."
Su He stepped off the boat, stretched lazily, and shouted.
"I'm back!!!"
Qian Renxue, standing behind Su He, immediately gave her a look of disdain, as if she didn't know this idiot, and tapped Su He on the forehead with her small hand.
More than a year has passed, and they have finally returned to this familiar land.
The beautiful Vast Sea City exuded its unique charm as always, but this time Su He and the others didn't have time to vacation Vast Sea City; they had more important things to do.
The two Level 7 Soul Engineers from the Sun Moon Empire were curiously observing the scenery of Vast Sea City; everything in the Douluo Continent was extremely new to them.
The most urgent task for Su He and the others was to safely deliver these two Level 7 Soul Engineers to the Worship Hall in Spirit City. Including Su He himself, there were only three Soul Engineers on this continent, each of whom was an extremely valuable asset.
It's important to understand that the value of a high-level Soul Engineer is far greater than that of a high-level Soul Tool, just like how the scientists who developed the Mushroom Bomb during Blue Star War II on Earth were far more valuable than the blueprints for it.
Another reason for rushing back to Spirit City was that Qian Renxue's Divine Trial needed to be completed as soon as possible.
The reward for the Angel's Sixth Trial can be said to be tailor-made for a level 80 Quasi Soul Douluo. Su He also happens to have a God-Bestowed Soul Ring. Before the start of the competition, finding a safe place to absorb as many high-age Soul Ring as possible is Su He's primary goal.
The journey back to Spirit City would take about ten days. This time, the group chose a carriage made of strong horse-like Soul Beast, which would improve their travel efficiency.
Meanwhile, news of the group's return from the Sun Moon Continent also reached Bibi Dong's ears.
The outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.
At this moment, a figure was wreaking havoc in the area inhabited by Soul Beast, dressed in black robes and wielding a giant hammer. Ordinary Thousand-Year Soul Beast would be mercilessly smashed into mincemeat if they encountered him. Even if they were to encounter Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, as long as its cultivation level was no more than thirty thousand years, it could be dealt with by the power of his strange, blood-red arm.
After the massacre came the much-anticipated harvest.
The black-robed figure skillfully smashed Cave Demon Spider with ten thousand years of cultivation to pieces. Then, eight spider legs stretched out from his back, making it look exactly like a human-shaped, Man Faced Demon Spider!
The spider legs pierced into the body of the Cave Demon Spider, and ten thousand years of cultivation flowed into the black-robed man's body along with the spider legs. His Soul Power was instantly replenished, and if one carefully sensed it, his Soul Power Level had also slightly increased.
"The seventh one that is ten thousand years old."
The man in black robes, Tang San, looked at the slowly rising black Soul Ring and said with some regret.
His level has reached forty-nine, just one level away from breaking through to fifty. He hunts these Soul Beast purely to absorb energy to break through his Soul Power Level, not to hunt for Soul Ring.
"We must reach the Soul King level during the tournament to have any chance against the terrifying Golden Generation."
Tang San silently continued his slaughter, one thousand-year and ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast after another met their tragic end. This scene was witnessed by the Asura Envoy of the Slaughter City.
"Good lad, no wonder you're worthy of inheriting the Asura Godhood..."
"Don't let Asura Shura down..."
The mass slaughter of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast quickly attracted the attention of the publicly known king of the forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python.
Although it suffered a major injury because of Su He last time, the Sky Azure Bull Python's strength not only did not decline, but it also recovered to its peak under the treatment of the Emerald Swan, breaking through and building up to a higher level.
With the Titan Giant Ape dead, many Soul Beasts with cultivation levels of 80,000 and 90,000 years immediately became restless. The most typical example was the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun. Originally, the three brothers could barely hold their own against the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python when they joined forces. Now that only the Sky Azure Bull Python remained, they became even more rampant.
However, their rampage resulted in a painful lesson. The Sky Azure Bull Python, whose cultivation was about to break through Two Hundred Thousand Year, easily defeated them, once again proving its status.
Although the existence of the Ferocious Beast has been announced to the continent by the Spirit Hall, and the Core Circle Star Dou Great Forest has become a forbidden zone within a forbidden zone, the Ferocious Beast deep within the Lake of Life usually remain dormant and do not emerge. Therefore, the Sky Azure Bull Python is still the apparent king of the Star Dou Great Forest.
With the head of a bull and the body of a snake, the Sky Azure Bull Python roared angrily, deeply hating the indiscriminate killing of Soul Beast.
However, after Tang San's Eight Spider Lances absorbed the 9,500-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider, they also gained its terrifying ability to conceal its aura, making it extremely difficult to track.
The cautious Tang San had memorized the contents of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. After each time he killed Soul Beast and absorbed its essence, he would quickly erase his traces, leaving no other clues. Therefore, even the Sky Azure Bull Python, with its cultivation of over 100,000 years, could only vaguely sense the presence of this place, but could not pinpoint the location of the murderer.
He firmly memorized that faint aura. Perhaps Tang San never expected that the Sky Azure Bull Python would give him such a great gift in the future.
Ten days later, in Spirit City, at the Pope's Hall.
"Insolence! Openly defying orders, Su He, do you have no respect for hierarchy?!"
Bibi Dong angrily slammed her scepter, glaring at Su He.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, I wonder what this blatant disobedience is all about?"
Su He calmly raised her head, staring at Bibi Dong, her eyes as still as a deep well.
"I ordered you two to stay there and develop the Spirit Hall's influence, but you returned to the Douluo Continent in just one year."
"If this isn't blatant disobedience, tell me, what is it?"
The overwhelming aura emanating from the Limit Douluo once again swept across the entire Pope's Hall, making everyone else inside feel somewhat suffocated. However, this did not affect Su He. The Chaos Emperor Golden Lion possessed extremely strong control over his aura and was not affected by such oppressive force.
Moreover, since Su He has chosen to return, it means that he will not be so easily caught by Bibi Dong. He is already confident about this matter.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, you are probably not yet aware of the expedition's operations."
"On this trip to the Sun Moon Continent, with the support of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family and the Xu Family of the imperial city, our Spirit Hall has not only built a Spirit Hall Sanctuary in the Sun Moon Imperial City, but also has a total of sixty-eight branch halls of various sizes in other royal cities and sub-cities."
"The Royal City branch temple is headed by twelve Red Cardinal, with a Soul Master belonging to the Sun Moon Empire serving as its deputy."
"The Zicheng branch hall is headed by Soul Emperor from my Spirit Hall, with a Soul King from the Sun Moon Empire serving as its deputy."
"As for the Spirit Hall Sanctuary of the Sun Moon Imperial City, the Temple Master will be temporarily Ninth Enshrined Elders."
"Your His Holiness the Pope, is there anything else you need to guide us on this mission?"
Su He slightly raised her eyelids and said calmly.
I'm late! Two updates today!
